I developed compensatory sweating, and it was a huge--no, SEVERE--problem for me; my back would literally be soaked before I walked out the front door in the morning, and it was very uncomfortable and stressful to to deal with. The doctor said they don't really know what causes this: I am reasonably healthy, but we think it may have had something to do with a spine injury. It has been pretty much cured--or brought down to normal levels--with a mediation called Robinul, but I learned a few tricks. Bad times, those were. The social limitations you place on yourself were probably the hardest part to both deal with and shake now that it is under control: I still don't like walking into a hot room for fear Niagara Falls will start up again, and I don't like getting myself into situations where I feel trapped - even, say, a line up at the grocery store.
I agree that those super fast drying shirts (and you can wear the proper size!), or the ones that wick sweat off your body and on to the other side of the fabric work quite well if you wear them as an undershirt, and they are available everywhere . I wear them now, I wore them in the past. And they breathe pretty well, so you're not exasperating the problem. Also, I found that by wearing antiperspirant under my arms only made sweating on my forehead and back 1000 times worse, so I just wore deodorant.

No argument there.
